Hi I have been assigned to maintain an old FOCUS system that uses FOCUS 4.3.5. I know NOTHING about FOCUS and I must admit I find it a bit hard to learn from what I have been able to find on the net. Can anyone here recommend some good material to read for a complete FOCUS-noob? Thanks in advance Yours /peterThis message has been edited. Last edited by: <Kathryn Henning>, | ||

This is an 'it depends' type of question. What aspects of the WebFOCUS language does the system use? Your release is totally out of date and is difficult to support. For starters register on the Technical Support site, and look at the available documents for Creating Reports and Application Development. However, I strongly recommend that you contact your local IB office and get someone in for a day to help get you started. It is surprising how effective that can be to get you going. Alan.

Peter, Can you get any dates off of the "old FOCUS" procedures? Preferably the original creation date. Some of us as "old FOCUSers"... maybe as old as those fexes... Heck, Maybe one of us wrote it...

I've been thinking about doing an 'Introduction to WebFOCUS' presentation either locally or at Summit. Its purpose would be to provide an overall understanding of Information Builders' WebFOCUS product. It wouldn't demo tools, nor develop code, as much as, it would introduce someone to thinking in WebFOCUS. If you'd like a copy of the .pptx, please feel free to send me a PM with your email. If anyone else would like a copy feel free to PM as well. I'd love to have folks opinion or thoughts about the material. Also, I've always liked Grzegorz Swietlik's article 'What Is WebFOCUS? A Developer's Perspective' available here . | |||

I did go ahead and complete this project. The presentation was made to the Chicago Users Group, and is available here: http://www.informationbuilders.../presentations/19211 This was a thirty minute presentation. I am thinking about expanding it to sixty minutes, and submitting a proposal for the next Summit. So any suggestions for improvement/additions would be most welcome. | |||
